Campaigners, parliamentarians and local people have blocked a fresh round of DU testing at the Dundrennan range in Scotland after the MoD shelved plans for the testing necessary to extend the life of the UK’s final DU round.

The BBC has reported that a much anticipated study by the WHO and Iraqi Ministry of Health will show that rates of birth defects in Iraq are higher in areas that were subject to heavy fighting in 2003.

ICBUW is looking for a ruthlessly well organised administrator to support our projects, you will be experienced in financial administration, event management and IT support.

Scottish politicians have reacted angrily to the news that the test firing of DU in Scotland may breach the UK’s marine protection obligations under the OSPAR convention.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has been evading an international ban on dumping radioactive waste at sea by defining thousands of uranium weapons lost in the Solway Firth as “placements”.

In a State of Uncertainty seeks to document the extent of Iraq's DU problem 10 years after its second use there during the 2003 invasion. Combining fieldwork, interviews with Iraqi officials and military sources, the report documents the extent of DU use in civilian areas and against non-armoured targets, the difficulties faced by the Iraqi authorities in managing contamination and the risks still posed to Iraqi civilians working in the scrap metal trade.

On the 18th December 2012 the MoD posted its latest policy statement regarding UK use of depleted uranium. https://www.gov.uk/depleted-uranium

Once again it has used out-dated and flawed arguments to justify the use of this controversial, toxic weapon.

155 states have supported a resolution calling for a precautionary approach to depleted uranium weapons during voting at the UN General Assembly.
